EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to August 1932, capturing the enchanting Ringle Crouch Green Mill in all its glory. Standing tall against the picturesque backdrop of Sandhurst, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, this smock mill is a true testament to Victorian engineering. The photograph showcases the remarkable preservation of this historic structure. The smock mill appears mostly intact with its distinctive five-sweep design proudly on display. Built in 1844, it held a unique distinction as the only known corn mill in Kent with such a configuration. However, time has taken its toll on this magnificent windmill. Following the moment captured by Francis Matthew Shea's lens, the body of the mill was sadly removed and repurposed as a storehouse. Yet even in its altered state, one cannot help but be captivated by the remnants that remain. This image invites us to reflect upon an era when windmills were not just functional structures but also symbols of innovation and progress. It transports us back to simpler times when these towering giants dotted our landscapes and played an integral role in our agricultural heritage. As we gaze upon this evocative print from Historic England's collection, let us appreciate both the beauty captured within it and mourn what has been lost over time.
